Not only does Brazil have one of the best Carnivals in the world and the hottest looking people, they serve it up really fine with their rodizios.
I was so thrilled to discover a rodizio here in Calgary and specifically here at Gaucho's. Every Sunday you can indulge in an all you can eat lunch buffet for just $28 a person. This includes an all you can eat meat service at your table with an extensive salad bar. Let me recommend right off the bat the palm hearts, this delicacy is banned from being served in Columbia as the palm takes 17 to 18 years to mature so therefore it has become more rare, so this is a speciality really worth having here.
The BBQ meat is cut up right before your eyes at your table by the chef, it is both succulent and tender, and in my opinion cooked to perfection. Try a nice vinaigrette sauce with your meat but I warn you to pace yourself, there is a never ending meat selection here.
Today we accompanied our meat with an authentic Brazilian beverage of white wine and lime juice and ended our meal with a glorious helping of coconut ice cream and barbecued pineapple smothered in guava sauce. If my buffet description doesn't get you here then for sure this dessert will, doesn't this combination make you want to come and try it.
The location is easy to get to as well; just off of Macleod trail. The management, staff and chef are indicative of Brazilian weather; warm and incredibly personable, I know you will enjoy your visit as much as I did mine.
Beijos!!
